| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A biological or chemical substance that is dangerous to human and environment is called: | biohazard |
| The agency of the government that oversees and regulates workers safety is | OSHA, occupational safety and health administration |
| this agency provides safety guidelines for medical offices and facilities | CDC center for disease control and prevention |
| a retrovirus that invades and inactivates helper T-cells of the immune system is called: | human immunodeficiency virus, HIV |
| liver infection transmitted by blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. Medical personnel are offered immunization for it. | HBV hepatitis B virus |
| infections acquired in a health care setting is called: | HAI, or healthcare associated infections |
| when an animal transfers a disease it is called a: | vector transmission |
| when an object transfers a disease it is called a: | fomite transmission |
| clean technique the practice designed to reduce the number and transfer of pathogens and helps break the chain of infection s called | medical asepsis |
| the complete removal of micro-organisms and their spores from the surface of an object is called: | surgical asepsis |
| this reduces the number of micro-organisms by removing debris with soap and water prior to disinfecting | sanitization |
| a technique for destroying pathogens and their spores on inanimate objects, using heat, water, chemicals, or gasses is called: | sterilization |
| cleaning something using chemicals that kill pathogens but not their spores is called | disinfecting |
| This is an instrument used to sterilize equipment and supplies by subjecting them to high pressure saturated steam: | autoclave |
| A medical device consisting of a tube and optical system for observing the inside of a hollow organ, cavity, or tissue plane is called: | endoscope |
| Documents containing necessary information regarding chemicals in the work environment is: | Safety data sheets or SDS |
| infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host are: | the chain of infection |
| _________ ___________. is th most frequent source of healthcare associated infections occurring by direct or indirect contact is: | contact transmission |
| A form of contact transmission with a different method, short distance, usually 3-4 feet thru the nasal, mouth or eyes | Droplet transmission |
| pathogen or disease producing microorganism is: | infectious agent |
| Site where the organism grows and multiplies is: | A Reservoir |
| skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, eyes, ears, mouth, urinary tract, and reproductive tract are all: | Portal of exit |
| How a pathogen travels; most commonly by contact, droplet, or air, direct or indirect is the: | mode of transmission |
| respiratory system, eyes, ears, urinary tract, reproductive tract, or break in skin is: | the portal of entry |
| person at risk for developing an infection from the pathogen, such as an immunocompromised person is: | A susceptible host |
| small particles carried by air current to a new host is: | airborne transmission |
| Removal of caps can cause | aerosols |
| A life threatening response of the body to an infection is | sepsis |
| Nosocomial infection is a: | Healthcare associated infection |
